There's a couple of achers for you. |
Man was created to be free, living in open spaces. See him now, boxed in by over-population. The spirit living within us is dead to our bodies. The union of two is a blessing from God. Sexuality is not simply biological, but concerns the innermost part of the human person: God sent the angel Raphael to Tobit disguised as a relative. Tobit had been blinded by the droppings of a bird, while he slept out doors that night. .. The sparrow had rested in a branch overhead. Raphael guided the blind Tobit to a kinswoman Sarah. Sarah had married seven times, "and a Devil named Asmodeus had killed them, at their first entering her." (Tobias 3:8) Raphael confronted the demon, "And Tobias remembering the angel's word, took out of his bag part of the fish liver, and laid it upon burning coals. Then the angel Raphael took the devil, and bound him in the desert of upper Egypt." (Tobias 8:2-3) Sarah's family dug a grave for Tobit, while the two slept. Tobit got out of bed and said to Sarah, "Sister, get up, and let us pray and implor our Lord that he grant us mercy and safety." Tobit began by saying, "You made Adam and for him his wife Eve. For our God have said, 'It is not good that man should be alone.' I now am taking this kinswoman, not because of lust, but with marriage. Grant that we may both grow old together." (Tobias 8:4-9) Rapheal healed Tobit of his blindness. Sarah and Tobit's marriage was blessed. I'll have a fish fillet! |
